Kai, Do you know this girl?

[Dave Monroe]

Yr very welcome.  Am trying to increase the peace
here.  Or at least the detente.  But, then, y'all see
what I mean about doing yr research?  Another
eminently useful approach, that "thick description"
((c) Clifford Geertz), "archaeology" ((c) Michel
Foucault), perhaps, a "New Historicism" ((c) Stephen
Greenblatt et al.) of the contemporary, perhaps more
accurately.  What was in the air ...  

I think Terrance will second that a looksee at Herbert
Marcuse's Eros and Civilization (and maybe his
One-Dimensional Man as well) might also prove
worthwhile.  Frantz Fanon's White Skins, Black Masks. 
Among many, many others.  Across the spectrum
(spectra?) of cultural production(s).  Again, legwork.
 Might not always get you where you wanted to go, but
it's typically excellent exercise, at least ...
